Scary morning

Danielle

This morning one of my worst fears happened. My car broke down in the middle of a bridge on a major highway. This is a stretch of highway that I travel every single day to and from work and I've seen cars broken down before and thought " there cannot be a worse place to get stuck"

There is no shoulder to speak of, so I got as for the right as I possibly could and immediately burst into tears. Because there was no proper break down lane, I was still about 1/3 into the right most lane of the highway and cars were buzzing by so fast my car kept rocking. I got out of the car and started walking down the bridge as far from the car as I could because I was absolutely terrified that I was going to be hit by someone passing and not paying attention. I had to compose myself as best I could and call 911 to tell them what was happening.

I have not been that scared probably in my entire life. I know that's a scary situation for anyone to be in but I was sobbing and holding my belly. My adrenaline was so high for that period of time waiting for emergency personal to arrive and even after. It's been nearly 12 hours and I'm still not sure I'm over it.

I'm thankful I already had a 28 week appointment scheduled for tomorrow otherwise I would have scheduled something just as a wellness check for my sanity and blood pressure.

Sorry that was so long but I was such a wreck and I just couldn't believe it
